Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers fluid dynamics with a focus on Bernoulli's equation and its applications. It explains the equation's components (pressure, velocity, height), assumptions (incompressible fluid, streamline flow, negligible viscosity), and provides problem-solving strategies. The guide also connects Bernoulli's equation to the continuity equation and the concept of energy conservation, and offers practice questions and exam tips.

Question 1 of 11

๐Ÿš€ When a fluid flows through a pipe and its velocity increases, what happens to the pressure, assuming height remains constant?

The pressure increases

The pressure decreases

The pressure remains the same

The pressure fluctuates randomly
